Have a look at the data collection, where we explained how we made a list of all bots. Also re edit statistics, see Fig S1. Happy to compare the lists and share data.

Given active editors tend to complain a lot if they get counted as bots, a comprehensive list should probably be a superset of that one. Flöck, Fabian, 11/10/2016 11:15: This is likely not news, so can someone enlighten me regarding what brought about that sharp decline of bot edits? The migration of interwiki links to Wikidata, which is very visible in https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/PlotsPngEditHistoryTop.htm . There was also some statistic by WMF on whether active users had "migrated" to Wikidata from other projects, but I can't quickly find it now; maybe it was around the time of http://infodisiac.com/blog/2014/03/wikimedia-editor-trends-broken-down-by-project/ .
